With v19, I can't seem to allocate big regions anymore (e.g. 101MiB). In particular, this seems to fail:

The above WARN_ON_ONCE is triggered, and then the conditional is asserted (page_zone() retuns a "Movable" zone, whereas zone is "Normal") and the function fails.
This happens to me on OMAP4 with your 3.3-rc1-cma-v19 branch (and a bunch of remoteproc/rpmsg patches).
Do big allocations work for you ?
I've tested it with 256MiB on Exynos4 platform. Could you check if the problem also appears on 3.2-cma-v19 branch (I've uploaded it a few hours ago) and 3.2-cma-v18? Both are available on our public repo: git://git.infradead.org/users/kmpark/linux-samsung/
The above code has not been changed since v16, so I'm really surprised that it causes problems. Maybe the memory configuration or layout has been changed in 3.3-rc1 for OMAP4?
Best regards
